Our Cute Chubby Pink little baby Jace 6 months now almost 7

Boys doing just dance together!

This is why we love to live here in Central Oregon.  I took this with my cell phone yesterday.  This is right above where we live.  Nice clear day.  No snow this year but it has been nice and warm!

Brandon turned 7 Dec. 7th and had a fun party with some of his friends.

Christmas Morning!



Christmas night



Fun with Grandpa

We had a pretty busy season this year for sure.  Now that I am an adult Christmas isn't nearly as exciting as it can be stressful.  Along with all the gift giving, there are school projects, programs, parties, work parties and dinners etc.  Ok and THEN we had Brian's sister Cathryn get married Dec. 29th....the reception was the next day and that got a bit crazy.  We got through it though and they are happily married going to BYU Idaho.  We have been enjoying the incredibly nice weather here.  Does not hurt my feelings that it is unusually warm.  I don't have the time to ski as much as I used to so staying at home with the sun shining is great! We are all back to normal now, not as exciting as Christmas time but much less stressful for me. 

This was my favortite engagement picture of John and Cathryn---isn't it just so cute??

Here is the only wedding pic I could snag so far from the temple...it poured rain that day but they managed to get some really cool pics because they had a great photographer

oh, wait, these guys have been married already now for a while...just thought I would stick this one in here too.  We went out to eat last night with our good friends David and Elise Herrin and she is good at picture taking, we are not.  She made us pose for this and it turned out pretty good.

I thought of one more thing that Brandon came home one day and told me about....the "pimple" in your eye...Brandon told us all about how he learned about the "pimple" in the middle of our eyeballs at school.  I tried so hard not to laugh. If  you from some reason cannot figure this one out...it's the pupil.
